Karthus disciplineKarthus should produce value during the same action cycle whenever possible
Positional disciplineNever sacrifice the unit responsible for the next Hold unless the conversion itself replaces that scoring presence
Sideboard disciplinePreserve Hook unit density. Three or four swaps are normally enough
Ruination disciplineCast it as a planned asymmetric rebuild, not merely because the opponent has more units
Points first, stable bodies second, conversion value third.
